Capital Datang

Hearing Li Shimin's order, Li Yin had a wry smile on his face, while Li Zhi, Qinghe, and Gao Yang looked embarrassed. They thought they were doing it very secretly, but they were discovered by their father. Come on, I don't know what wild boar meat refers to, so I looked at Li Yin and the others curiously.

"Yes, my lord obeys!" Ren Limin tried many tricks, but under Li Shimin's piercing eyes, he still had no way to do it, and finally he could only agree in dejection.

Following Li Yin's instructions, the lunch prepared by the kitchen was delivered in a short while. Among them, there were many pork dishes such as braised pork, Gu Lao pork, and sweet and sour pork tenderloin. When they ate Sizi for the first time, they added a few more dishes. Of course, in addition to these pork dishes, there were also some new dishes made of other ingredients, which were Sizi and Qinghe's favorite. food.

Li Shimin couldn't help but sniffled as these delicious dishes were served. He was really hungry. In addition, these new dishes had a unique fragrance, which whetted the appetite. Therefore, Li Shimin forgot about the wild pork for a while, picked up a piece of red braised pork with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and immediately found that the meat was fat but not greasy, and it was soft and melted in the mouth. delicious.

Li Yin didn't expect Li Shimin's action to be so fast. Before he could stop him, he threw the pork into his mouth with a look of enjoyment. Now he sighed in his heart, not knowing that the emperor knew what he ate When it's a lowly pork, will you punish yourself for the crime of deceiving the emperor?Capital Datang 97

"Well, not bad!" Li Shimin kept his chopsticks, tasted all the dishes in front of him in the blink of an eye, and then nodded in praise.But then he looked at Li Yin with some playful eyes, and said lightly: "Liu Lang, the cook in your house is really good at making pork that ordinary people eat so delicious!"

"Cough~cough~" Li Zhen who was next to him immediately spit out the sweet and sour pork tenderloin he was chewing in his mouth. He was also hungry just now.Seeing Li Shimin move the chopsticks, I picked up a few chopsticks and tasted it, and found that it was delicious. I didn’t care about other people, and I started to eat it, but when he was eating it, I didn’t expect Li Shimin to say It was pork and was immediately choked up.

"Uh~, Father...Father Emperor. How do you know..." Li Min was taken aback when he heard Li Shimin's words. There was no indication that the dish was made of pork, but Li Shimin knew it immediately after tasting it. It's pork, has he eaten it before?

"Hmph! Isn't it just pork. What's the fuss?" Li Shimin snorted coldly, and said with a look of nostalgia on his face, "When I led the army to fight everywhere and the army food supply was insufficient, what didn't you eat? Don't worry. Let’s talk about this pork, if you’re so hungry, you can even catch a mouse and make a pot of soup!”

"Father~" Hearing Li Shimin's disgusting words, Qinghe and Gao Yang couldn't help but coquettishly said, with dissatisfied expressions on their faces.

"Hey! You guys grew up in the deep palace. You have never had the chance to taste the hardships of the people. You have to be so sneaky to eat pork. You know, not everyone can eat pork." Li Shimin ignored the two The daughter's coquettish anger, on the contrary, taught the lesson with a serious face.

Seeing Qinghe and Gao Yang were a little unhappy.Li Yin, the elder brother, hastily said: "What the father said is that my ministers also know that some people in the Tang Dynasty are living in hardships. This is mainly caused by the lack of social wealth, but it is not impossible to solve it."

"Oh? What does Liulang think?" Li Shimin was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Yin to dare to say such big words in front of him.

"Father, this is actually very simple. The so-called 'no agriculture is unstable, no work is not rich. No business is not alive' Now my Datang is due to the implementation of the land equalization system, so agriculture is very stable, at least for decades there will be no problems , but this only solves the problem of eating.To make people rich, we must vigorously develop industry. Industry is different from agriculture and commerce. Although agriculture also creates social wealth, but because of land constraints, the wealth created by agriculture is limited, while industry is different. Maybe someone has an idea , can create a new product, and then feed the craftsmen and their families who rely on the production of this new product, and even drive a large number of related industries. It can be said that as long as people's wisdom is endless, the social wealth that industry can create is unlimited. "

When Li Yin said this, he couldn't help standing up excitedly. At first he just wanted to rescue Qinghe and Gao Yang, but he didn't expect that the more he talked, the more he devoted himself, and finally he even said what was deep in his heart.

Li Shimin couldn't help being a little surprised seeing Li Yin's high spirits. He used to think that his son was smart and talented, and even had some unique opinions on certain things, but he didn't expect him to be interested in agriculture, industry, and business. The three industries have such a deep understanding.

"Min'er, you mentioned agriculture and industry, so what about the rest of commerce?" Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and then asked. He also knows the three industries of agriculture, industry, and commerce very well, but he has never learned from social wealth. Think about it from this angle.

"My father, business is a very special industry. It does not generate any wealth by itself. It only earns the price difference by buying low and selling high. This is the fundamental reason why the world despises businessmen."

Li Shimin nodded, what Li Min said was also the consensus of the world on businessmen.

"However, the world only sees the merchants' opportunism, but does not see the mental and physical labor that the merchants put in for it. For example, take the very common peddlers in Datang as an example. These peddlers sell goods. First, they have to investigate some kind of The price of the commodity, analyze the risk and income of selling this commodity, and then spend the capital to sell a large number of goods, and transport them to the destination for sale. The cost of planting will be superimposed on the original cost of this batch of goods, so people see that the price difference earned by the merchant is also obtained by the merchant through labor, which only artificially increases the original value of the commodity. And the merchant will The products produced by industry and agriculture are shipped to various places for sale, making the wealth in the world circulate, and only after the wealth is circulated, can the wealth exert its own value."

When Li Yin talked about the profession of a businessman, except for what later generations read on the Internet or in books, most of them came from his own thinking, and he used a lot of new terms. He was really afraid that Li Shimin would not understand. .

"Well, Liu Lang, you are right. Although the world despises businessmen for getting something for nothing, but from your analysis, businessmen are actually paying for labor." Li Shimin is the king of a country after all, and his ability to understand is very strong. After thinking about it for a while, I understand.At this time, Li Zhi and Li Zhen were also absorbed by Li Yin's high-spirited talk, and sat on both sides of him very honestly to listen.

"Father, now that we have understood the characteristics and differences of the three industries of agriculture, industry, and commerce, it is very simple to solve the poverty among the people, let alone agriculture, unless we suddenly get a large piece of fertile land and enough Otherwise, it will be difficult to increase the population in a short period of time. In this way, the only way to solve this problem is to find a way from industry and commerce. Industry and agriculture are the foundation of commerce. Therefore, if you want to increase social wealth quickly, you must first The first step is to vigorously develop industry!" Li Min said firmly.

When Li Shimin heard Li Yin's words, his heart suddenly moved. Thinking of Li Yin's actions during this period, he suddenly had a feeling of blessing to his soul, and he blurted out: "Liulang, the fried tea and five kings you have made during this time New commodities such as alcohol, cement, coal, etc., did you have the idea of ​​​​developing industry from the beginning?" Capital Datang 97

"Father is wise, actually, when I started making fried tea and five kings drunk, I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted to make some money because my hands were tight. But with the accumulation of capital, I found that I can still make a lot of things. Things, although I can't help my father in government affairs, but if I can develop the industry and benefit the people of Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as a relief for you, my father." Li Yin said with a dignified face, that he can win the emperor's old age. If Dad likes it, he can say as much as he likes.

"Sixth brother, I can't figure it out. After the development of industry, the factory owners and businessmen will benefit the most. How can we benefit the people of Tang Dynasty?" Li Zhi was young and somewhat Said incomprehensibly.

"Hehe, Ninth Brother, think about it, if the industry develops, it will be necessary to hire people after all. Of course, the rich people in the family don't bother to work, but those poor people can find a new income from it, and the industry The more developed it is, the more people will be hired, and of course more people will be benefited." Li Yin explained with a smile.

"Well, not bad!" Li Shimin also nodded and said, "It's like the cement factories and coal mines you run, although I haven't done statistics, but according to my estimation, at least hundreds of thousands of households in the Tang Dynasty have benefited. .”

"So many?" Li Zhen was also very surprised. The total population of the Tang Dynasty was only over 300 million households, but these two industries developed by Li Yin suddenly affected one-tenth of the population of the Tang Dynasty. People admire.

"Father, in fact, you still underestimate the cement and coal!" Li Yin retorted immediately after hearing Li Shimin's words.

"Oh?" Li Shimin was taken aback, and looked at Li Yin in surprise. Could there be something in it that he couldn't see through?

"My father, you only saw the two products of cement and coal, but you did not include the related industries. For example, the production of cement immediately drove the mining of coal, gypsum, slag and other raw materials. Transportation, and with the application and promotion of cement, more cement products must be invented by people. The same is true for coal, although it is still mainly used as fuel for refining cement and iron, but its other functions, Our Carbon Coal Industry Association has also mastered it, and when it is launched, it will definitely benefit more people in Datang!"

What Li Yin said was very heroic. In his original plan, cement and coal occupy a very important position. Like another thing that will appear soon, they are the key props for Li Yin to lay out the world. (to be continued)! ! !
